Wongsakorn Law Firm would like to express its sincere appreciation to Thammasat University, Faculty of Liberal Arts, Chinese Language Program, for its trust and kind cooperation in sending a student to undertake professional internship training at our firm. This opportunity allows the student to gain real-world experience and firsthand exposure to actual legal practice and Chinese-language coordination work. It is an important step in preparing for a full transition into the professional working world in the future.
Practical training in a real workplace is an essential process in enhancing skills, knowledge, and the ability to apply academic learning from the classroom into real-world practice. This is particularly important in the present era, where language skills, communication abilities, and the capacity to work within professional organizations are highly valued in the labor market. Wongsakorn Law Firm is therefore very pleased to be part of supporting and encouraging students to learn through real-life situations, including hands-on work experience, problem-solving in practical situations, and the development of systematic working skills.
In addition, Wongsakorn Law Firm firmly believes that providing students with opportunities to learn from real-world experience helps broaden their perspectives and strengthen their confidence in preparing for their future careers effectively. It also fosters strong collaboration between educational institutions and professional sectors, working together to develop the potential of Thai youth so they are well-prepared to enter the workforce with stability and quality in the future.
InternshipIn today’s increasingly competitive legal profession, the term “intern” no longer simply means completing required internship hours. Instead, it represents an opportunity to step into the path of becoming a real legal professional.
The key question is Will you choose a “real internship” or just put your name down?
This article explores real perspectives through an interview with a law intern who gained hands-on experience at Wongsakorn Law Firm. We hope this content can help shift your mindset and approach toward internships.
Real Internship vs. Name-Only Internship What’s the Difference?
In the legal field, many people may have heard of a “name-only internship,” which refers to registering for an internship without actually doing any real work.
While it may seem convenient, what you gain is zero experience.
In contrast, a real internship means stepping into the field, working on real cases, and learning from real-life situations.
Interview with “Gino”: A Real Intern’s Voice
Below is an interview with Gino (Thanipat Manopat), a trainee from the Lawyers Council who chose the path of a real internship
Lawyer Arm: Why did you choose a real internship instead of just putting your name down? Gino: First of all, I think a name-only internship doesn’t give any real experience. By interning at a law firm, I’m confident that I will gain real experience in becoming a lawyer.
A short but clear answer showing that experience is the most important thing for interns.
Lawyer Arm: Do you get paid for your internship here? Gino: Yes, I do.
A good internship doesn’t only provide experience it also gives value to the intern’s work.
Lawyer Arm: Did you have the opportunity to visit or study abroad? Gino: Yes, I did. I visited a legal advisory company and learned how legal advisors work. It was exciting, and it was my first time traveling abroad. If I hadn’t worked here, I probably wouldn’t have had that opportunity.
This is an opportunity many interns never receive exposure to the international legal world, which can truly shape the future.
Lawyer Arm: Where are we today? Gino: At Padang Besar Police Station. Lawyer Arm: What are we doing here? Gino: Giving a statement. Lawyer Arm: So you’re already involved in a case? Gino: Yes.
This is not just an internship, this is real field experience.
Interns get to experience the legal process firsthand, from beginning to end.
Lawyer Arm: A warrior must have scars, and interns too. After this internship, do you think you can pass your exams? Gino: After interning for 6 months, working on case files and drafting petitions and complaints every day, I feel like I need to study less because I’ve already seen real cases.
This is a major turning point from being a student to becoming a practitioner.
Real Internship = A Shortcut to Success
From this interview, it is clear that a real internship delivers completely different results
✔ Hands-on work every day ✔ Real case experience ✔ Learning from real situations ✔ Developing practical, career-ready skills
Name-Only Internship = Losing Opportunities Without Realizing It
On the other hand, a name-only internship may seem “easy,” but the long-term consequences include
No real experience
Lack of professional skills
Not being ready to become a real lawyer
Most importantly, it may become a form of self-sabotage without realizing it.
Advice from Lawyer Arm to the New Generation of Interns
“A real internship truly matters. For those who want to become lawyers or legal professionals, a real internship is essential. Don’t just put your name down. Don’t make excuses.”
“A real internship is completely different from a name-only one. Without real work experience, you may unknowingly harm your own future.”
This is a clear warning for anyone deciding their career path.

On March 6, 2026, Supasit Siri, also known as “Lawyer Arm,” the executive of Wongsakorn Law Office, presented certificates to internship students from the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Chinese Major, Ubon Ratchathani Rajabhat University, following the completion of their internship at the firm. This internship served as an important opportunity for students to gain real working experience in a professional legal environment, which differs significantly from learning in a traditional classroom setting
As Wongsakorn Law Office represents a number of Chinese clients and companies, and also serves as a legal advisor to several Chinese businesses operating in Thailand, Chinese language interns play an important role in supporting language-related tasks. These include translating legal documents, communicating with Chinese clients, and assisting as interpreters during court proceedings. Such experiences help students strengthen both their language proficiency and their understanding of legal processes in a practical and meaningful way.
The internship at this law office therefore goes beyond theoretical learning, providing students with the opportunity to engage in real tasks and gain hands-on experience in the field of international legal work. This experience serves as valuable preparation for their future careers. Students majoring in Chinese who are interested in gaining practical experience while developing both their language and professional skills are welcome to contact the office for more information and become part of a meaningful learning experience that can help shape their future career paths.
On February 19, 2026, Lawyer Arm (Supasit Siri), head of Wongsakorn Law Office, presented internship completion certificates to interns from the University of Phayao in recognition of their successful completion of their internship in the firm’s Corporate Communications Department. During the internship period, the two students had the opportunity to learn and participate in real work, particularly in digital media production within the field of corporate communications. Their work included graphic design, video editing, and the creation of online media content, all of which are essential skills in today’s digital communication era.
Throughout the internship, both students demonstrated strong dedication, a high sense of responsibility, and excellent teamwork. They were able to efficiently complete the tasks assigned to them. Their performance left a positive and lasting impression on the staff of the firm, and also reflected the potential and capability of the new generation of young professionals who are committed to developing themselves and pursuing their professional careers.
This achievement not only marks the successful completion of their internship but also represents an important step forward for both the students and Wongsakorn Law Office. Before graduating, the two students were given the opportunity to join the firm as probationary employees, becoming part of the organization. This serves as a strong example of cooperation between an educational institution and a professional organization, creating real employment opportunities for students while enabling the firm to recruit individuals who have already developed practical skills and experience through training within the organization, resulting in a mutually beneficial outcome for both sides.
On October 17, 2025, Wongsakorn Law Office held a certificate presentation ceremony for internship students from Attawit Commercial Technology College, Accounting Major, to recognize their dedication, determination, and responsibility demonstrated throughout their internship period with the firm.

Mr. Apisit Pholdongnok

Ms. Suchada Thapthimsai
This internship program represents a meaningful collaboration between Wongsakorn Law Office and leading educational institutions, offering students an opportunity to gain real-world experience, develop practical skills in accounting, legal documentation, and organizational management. Such experiences play a crucial role in preparing students for their future careers.
Wongsakorn Law Office continues to place strong emphasis on supporting the younger generation by creating learning opportunities and promoting a deeper understanding of the legal and business professions in the modern world. This commitment reflects the firm’s vision of nurturing the next generation of professionals who will contribute positively to Thai society.

On September 5, 2025, Wongsakorn Law Office had the honor of welcoming faculty members from Attawit Commercial Technology College:
Asst. Prof. Natrapee Rittatsso, Lecturer in Accounting
Asst. Prof. Chattrathongchai Jittraktam, Lecturer in Logistics
The purpose of their visit was to supervise and evaluate accounting students currently undergoing a three-month professional internship at the law office. This occasion marked the second supervision visit, aiming to monitor students’ progress and assess their practical learning outcomes.
During the supervision, the lecturers engaged with the students through various discussions, covering topics such as their primary responsibilities during the internship, the use of work-related programs and tools, feedback or guidance received from mentors and supervisors, work discipline including attendance and punctuality, as well as opportunities to perform tasks outside the office. These evaluations provided a comprehensive view of the students’ development.
Wongsakorn Law Office is truly delighted to play a role in offering real-world experiences to accounting students. Internships in an authentic work environment not only strengthen accounting skills but also enable students to understand how their knowledge can be applied in a legal office context, an opportunity that is both valuable and rare.
This supervisory visit marks another important step in fostering collaboration between the educational institution and Wongsakorn Law Office, with the shared goal of nurturing a new generation of competent professionals who are well-prepared for their future careers. The law office sincerely hopes that the students will apply the knowledge gained here to achieve lasting success in the accounting profession.
